You wouldn't happen to have hand lettered (paint) racecars at any point in your life, have you? If so I might know you.....

PUI?

Yep--have to agree.

Wanna beat a DUI?  Carry a bottle of Liquor with you (Schnapps would be the easiest) calmly get out of the car, walk to the sidwalk/curb and in front of the police officer, put it to your lips and take the biggest sig you've ever tried.  They can't prove whether you were impaired before or after and you will be impaired after the four or five ounce swig.....

That is actually true in most cases. I had a buddy get into an accident while driving after he had downed far too many to be driving. The other guy who actually caused the accident was even more intoxicated and that guy fled the scene. Anyhow in order to file a police report for his insurance purposes (it was a brand new car) my buddy drove to a local grocery store and bought a 6 pack of beer. He poured the beers out in the bushes but left the empty cans in the paper bag next to his car. When cops arrived he took a swig of what remained of the last beer right in front of them. He told the cops the accident and subsequent fleeing of the other driver frayed his nerves so he downed a sixer while waiting for the cops to arrive. They believed him without question and took the report and just asked that he got a ride home so as not to drive intoxicated. This guy was about the dumbest fool I've ever met but on that day he had a pure stroke of brilliance!

Cheers!

There's more than a few places in the states where walking away from your car with something in your hand will get you killed. When stopped, stay in the car with your hands on the steering wheel.

Half the lies they tell about me aren't true. 

Does that work if you change the booze to blue maui?

 If you haven't been drinking you can chug a 1/2 pint of Jack or any other liquor and then blow, it will not show up on a breathalyzer. It has to be metabolized first and if you have been drinking it won't effect the results until it has.

Half the lies they tell about me aren't true. 

Wrong Bigfish, you never blow immediately and it's not hard to stall and you do this because you are Impaired to begin with.  Was married to a Cop and have 3 Attorneys in my family, I know this as a fact, sorry! 

PS  The whole point in doing this was to cover up the drinking so why are you starting your silliness with "if you haven't been drinking".  Pay attention!

I put in "if you haven't been drinking" to make a point of how your bogus idea wouldn't have any effect at all one way or the other for more than just a few minutes, but you still don't seem to be able to grasp the concept.http://alcoholism.about.com/cs/alerts/l/blnaa35.htm

Half the lies they tell about me aren't true. 

Sat on a jury in NC where a driver wrecked his truck on the way home from a compnay sponsored fishing boat outing. He had fled the scene after hitting a tree a fewe blocks from his house, walked to his flop house and passed out on the floor. In the course of the trail, his story of "my back hurt and I was in pain, drank a bottle of whiskey and passed out on the flor just inside the door, and my girlfriend came over and put the whiskey bottle in the trash can for me"...failed miserably.

After abuot 20 minutes of listening to a kooky liberal woman say stupid stuff about using te verdict to "send society a message", several of us reminded the jury that we are here to deliberate a verdict based on the evidence we had just heard...and not an agenda - we voted...guilty as charged - off to the iron wigwam.

The most clever way to beat a DUI charge is to hand your keys to a friend.

As a full blown raging alcoholic im speaking from experience!  I have found one fool proof never EVER  fails method for beating ANY form of sobriety check.   I quit drinking! !!  Now i'll drive across town to go through a check point! !  My lawyer is usually in the vehicle with me and he can't beat my method for getting through a sobriety check!   

Fishman, it's a 'silly idea' that has worked for years for those that have tried.  You can't prove when the impairment happened and as a result can not prove impaired driving, I know this as fact, but thankfully not from a personal standpoint.  BRR, your story is not even close to a driver drinking right in front of the police officer which is the whole point for those not able to grasp it, sheesh.....

As if you have the dumbest Cops in the world where ever the hell you live. Oh wait, one of them married you.

 Funny that none of us, and there are more than a few of both active and recovering alcholics like myself on here that have not only never heard of such a hairbrained scheme, we've never even been drunk enough to try it.LOL

Half the lies they tell about me aren't true. 

I know of a girl here in California that was riding a quad, hiking another person. they flipped, the boy broke his neck and died and she was sentaced to vehicular manslaughter and time in prison. This was on private property miles from any road.

Perhaps Nelligan has firsthand knowledge of defense attorney's and DUI charges...I will defer.

So then you can go to court for public intoxication!  Not sure where you live MSPN but around here it's not legal to just walk around sidewalks in front of Cops drinking Jack Daniels after you've been pulled over.  I heard you can also get out of a DUI by throwing your leftover cocaine in the cops face, blinding him for a short period of time just long enough to steal his gun and handcuff him to the steering wheel while you speed off shooting his gun in the air with Lynyrd Skynyrd cranked to the max!

The best way not to get a OVI, don't drink and drive!

do it in the dirt

Dang, you guys aren't all that smart.  You take the swig of the liquor on the sidewalk to cover up the fact you are ALREADY impaired.  The whole point being when did you become impaired, before they stopped you or after, they can't prove it.  This has been around for years up here in Canada and likely has with some of the smarter (can I say that) folks in the USA.

Fishguy, tell me you now understand the reason you are doing this, you don't want to lose your license which up here in Canada has been .08 and a minimum one year suspension from driving.  This kicked in around 30 or so years ago and was one of the reasons I sold out of the bar/restaurant business. 

Meathead the whole reason you are doing this is to avoid an Impaired Driving charge which is many times more severe than a public intoxiacation.

I have known people that for years have kept a bottle in their glovebox for this reason but fortunately have not heard of any of them ever using it although it's worked for others...

I'm more curious on the non-drinking side of the incident.  If it can be proven that you intentionally crashed someone and they get hurt, are you liable for his injuries?  How about in NASCAR, when you intentionally wreck someone, and say they had it coming on TV, could you not be charged or sued for property damages?  If I go into a private parking lot and intentially destroy a car, I can face charges.  I know you assume some risk for damages in a racing environment, but if it is proven intentional, (which you could eaisily prove through "expert" testimony, could someone in fact be charged?  What if injuries result?  If I spin a guy and it smashes the 20 cars behind, should I pay for all 20 cars?  Boy, that would be a BIG change in the sport.  I don't know how NASCAR guys could take it.

I guessin right up the rear !!!!
